Sky Television has agreed a new deal with SANZAR (South Africa New Zealand Australia Rugby) to continue to broadcast the Tri-Nations and Super Rugby competitions in New Zealand for five years from 2011 to 2015.
The New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) has confirmed that a new agreement has been struck as part of the ongoing renewal of SANZAR's broadcasting arrangements.
Subsequent deals are expected to be signed with Australia's Foxtel, like Sky a News Corporation-controlled company, and South Africa's Super Sport. The new deal is worth a reported NZ$560m to the southern hemisphere's leading unions – an increase of about 20 per cent on the previous contract.
NZRU chief executive Steve Tew said: "The announcement that the SANZAR unions have signed agreements with Sky Television in New Zealand is a very positive step and we are delighted to be extending our long-standing partnership with Sky."
